“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.” – Bill Hicks

I always tend to pick up on the more subtle jokes or lines, or appreciate the hell out of them purely for their genius. Of course, now that there's a thread devoted to them, I can't think of a single one.

Nonetheless, one of my favorite throwaway movie lines comes from Home Alone 2, when Kevin is going through New York at night (alone) and sees all these weird and creepy people, so he runs to a taxi. He gets in and says,

"Boy, it's scary out there."

The cab driver turns and looks at him, revealing his terrifying face, and replies, "ain't much better in here, kid."

I always thought way he delivers the line, without any humor or malice, creates a very poignant moment. It is actually funny, but I love that he has the self-awareness to realize, damn I look fucked up, but oh well...here's my face, kid. May we all learn to be as aware and at peace with ourselves.
